Check the settings for your tab-stops on both ends:

:set ts? sts? et? sw?

One of either 'ts' or 'sts' settings is most likely the culprit, but
it's helpful to know the others too.

Just make sure that you have the same setting for both in your vimrc
and you should be good to go[*].

-tim

[*] there are some caveats if you only want this to apply to one
particular file name/type, in which case you can set it in an
autocmd that gets triggered upon opening the file.

:help BufRead
:help 'ts'
:help 'sts'
:help autocmd
